![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her daddy said he would be back, but he wasn’t. They said they would keep her and Kenny together. When Michelle asked to be taken away from her abusive mother, she never expected to lose everyone she loved in the process. But it seems they are always falling behind, barely keeping one step ahead of the nightmares. He wasn’t there when she needed him, and because of him, their lives will never be the same. But things aren’t as rosy as she would have everyone believe, and the road ahead of her is filled not only with gangs, drugs, and depression, but other challenges that Ruby hasn’t even imagined. She’s tough and independent and doesn’t depend on anyone else. If you asked Ruby, she’d tell you she’s happy with her life. Winner of Top Ten Books for Teens award by In the Margins Committee, 2015. Follow the lives of the Simpson family, their lives torn apart by abuse and neglect. ![]()
